Chapter 1: Foundations of Algebra
Chapter project
Below Standard (0-2 points each)
Meets Standard (3 points each)
Exceeds Standard (4 points each)
For each problem, identify the variables and write an expression. Substitute the appropriate values into the expression for the variables and simplify using the order of operations. Explain each step. Use a diagram or picture when appropriate. Use the correct measurement units.
Tim's family and Marko's family are redecorating a room in each other's home. They have three days for the decorating project, which will be filmed for a local TV show.
1. Tim decides to paint Marko's room a shade of blue. He measures the height and width of each wall in the rectangular room. He finds that two walls have a width of 12 feet and the other two have a width of 14 feet. The ceiling is 9 feet high. Find the area of each wall. Find the total area of all four walls plus the ceiling.
2. One gallon of paint covers 400 square feet. How many gallons are needed if Tim wants to apply two coats of paint to all of the walls and ceiling?
3. Tim decided to build a bedside table in the shape of a cylinder and cover it with yellow fabric on the top and the side. The fabric costs $2.50 per square yard. The table has a radius of 1 foot and a height of 2 feet. What is the cost to cover the table? Use 3.14 for π.
4. Tim's mother will fill a vase with multicolored beads and place it on the bedside table. The vase is in the approximate shape of a cone. The height of the vase is 10 inches, and the radius of the vase at the top is 3 inches. Find the volume of the vase. Use 3.14 for π.
5. Tim wants to create a border around the room using stickers. He can purchase a package of 5 stickers for $6.00. Make a table to show the cost of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 packages of stickers. Make another table to show the cost based on the number of stickers (not the number of packages). How many stickers can Tim purchase if he has $32 left in the budget?
